1. How to choose the right packaging for Desiccated Coconut

Moisture is the natural enemy of dried food, therefore, choosing sealed packaging is the most important thing to preserve desiccated coconut. Here are some packaging for you to store:

• Zip bag: This is the most popular choice. After use, close the zip bag to prevent air from entering, causing mold to the desiccated coconut.
• Glass box: A glass box has good preservation ability. It helps the desiccated coconut to retain its crispness and flavor for longer.
• Plastic box: Another good choice is the plastic box. You can use a plastic box with a tight lid. Remember to choose a thick, good-quality box to ensure hygiene.

For a better reservation, divide the desiccated coconut into small bags. If you do not use up a large amount of desiccated coconut, you can divide it into small zip bags or boxes. When needed, just open a small bag, helping to avoid opening and closing a large bag many times, reducing the quality of the desiccated coconut.

2. How to store Desiccated Coconut for a long time

When it comes to storage place, consider the following factors:

• Avoid direct sunlight: Sunlight can cause the desiccated coconut to go rancid and lose its crispness.
• Avoid humid places: High humidity can cause the desiccated coconut to become soft, and moldy. Also, it can easily be prone to bacteria.
• Avoid high temperature: Do not store desiccated coconut in a place with too high a temperature. Because high temperatures can cause the desiccated coconut to leak oil and lose its crispness.

Therefore, the ideal place to store desiccated coconut should be a dry storage cabinet, drawer, or refrigerator.

You can also consider using desiccant. Put a few desiccant packets in the desiccated coconut container to help absorb moisture and prolong the storage time. Besides, mung beans have very good moisture absorption ability. You can put a few mung beans in a small cloth bag and place it with the desiccated coconut.

With the above preservation methods, you can store desiccated coconut delicious and flavorful for up to 18 months.
